IN MEMORIAM Few men have made a greater contribution to their community than Dr. J. A. Clevenger and D. B. VanFleit. One of the most outstanding of these contributions was their efficient service of a combined total of twenty-five years on the Board of Education, Dr. Clevenger having served six years, and Mr. VanFleit nineteen years. Theirs was the happy privilege of helping to provide adequate educational advantages to thousands who remain as living testimonials that these great public servants did not live in vain. D. B. VanFleit (1862-1939) ' Lives of great men all remind us We may make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o ' er life ' s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Dr. J. A. Clevenger ( I 860- 1 940) God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking! For while the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds Mingle in selfish strife; lo! Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps!

BOARD of CONTROL Their mammas thought they were tops, I ' ll bete and so do we. Three men more likable and cap would be hard to find. The student body, the fac the school executives, and the community are prou point to these pictures and say, That ' s OUR Sc Board! Their very expressions seem to say: Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle — face it; ' tis God ' s gift. ' A. W. Gallatin, Treasurer Dr. J. W. Thomson, President D. L Haffner Secretary [Page ]

EXECUTIVES The caption, Coming events cast their shadows fore, might well be used for these boyhood port of Garrett High ' s executives. As time passes, members of the Class of Forty may forget many the textbook answers, but in their hearts will be shrined the lasting influence of these splendid lead The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.
